And it is most likely you noticing Those molecules to change it to reflect your thought consciously. So ignore it and live your life thinking about other things like how to help people.

      If you consider the mind like a lense of the glasses you're seeing out. Except the lens is cracked so now you're judging the whole reality through this cracked lens. So you inherently cannot trust what you are seeing.
      Consider people going to a library if this were true... who could do it? 1000 people all reading out loud to one another, it doesn't make any sense.

    Damn, I remember this symptom, it was terrible. I was 100% convinced that people around me knew what I was thinking and because I was having a lot of terrible thoughts that I couldn't control, it made it so much more worse. At the time I was unaware that it was a delusion and I had no insight whatsoever. Absolutely awful it was.

    I like this a lot. When I was young, elementary through middle school, I struggled with SEVERE OCD, and thinking back I absolutely had a fear of thought broadcasting. It's a personal prison and I'm thankful to have gotten to where I am in life. I can still remember how helpless I felt. My most debilitating was an obsessive thought of paper cuts across my wrist. Not even a fear of an actual paper cut, just randomly through my mind SLICE it would cause me to instantly been my hand over to protect my wrist. It happened often and I had no control over it. As you can imagine walking around with your wrists bent all the time doesn't make you very popular as a boy in the 90s. I don't talk about it often because I feel like I could slip back into it.
    I have mad love and respect for what you do. You take these fears and not only discuss them, but you discuss them in a public forum open to scrutiny and ridicule. You're a badass!

    Part of the reason I left my favorite job I've ever had was because of this. A portion of what I had to do involved proctoring for students taking math tests, and I would have to type in a secret password for it to begin... and I was always sure that they could hear the password in my thoughts, no matter how hard I tried to type it without thinking it. I was always afraid that people could cheat using my thoughts, when I only ever wanted them to know that they could be great at it on their own. The room was always full of people, mostly silently studying, and when I wasn't actively helping anyone it could be really hard to shrug off the feeling that many of them were faking their studies and they were instead basically stripping my mind down looking for things to use against me. I had no secrets left.
    For me, this is episodic and not constant, since I'm bipolar, but the more stressed I was the more likely this was to surface and interfere with my peace of mind.

I came to a conclusion that no one could hear my thoughts, but they can feel my energy, which gives a glimpse of my thoughts. Empaths can feel the energy we emit but they can never get a clear insight of our thoughts.

    I had a cannabis induced psychosis when I was a teenager (I am 35 now) and thought broadcasting and auditory hallucinations were part of the symptoms.
    I still experience it lightly sometimes, particularly at stressful times.
    I was absolutely convinced people could read my thoughts but didn’t want to say it.
    If they revealed it, then their soul would be forfeited.
    So I would tell them in my mind, if you can really read my mind, tell me now and let’s go to the casino and win money. But they wouldn’t answer because then their soul would be forfeited. It was a way my delusion was protecting itself.
    It sounds so ridiculous typing this out but that’s how entrenched this delusion can be. Even though you know it’s not true and impossible, somehow your mind holds onto the belief.

    In 2017, my first year in university I became a regular weed smoker but I wasn't even smoking that much. I used to smoke only 3 times a week. I made it a thing that I would never smoke on my own. I always smoked with people (my friends). In December of that year I smoked more than usual but still not that much. During that December I spent a lot of time with my friends. Eventually I started feeling like my friends were gossiping about me because I noticed a change in their behaviour towards me. I went from feeling like people were gossiping about me to feeling like I was being spied on. I started noticing patterns about people and how they would behave around me. I started paying attention to these patterns and realised they went with certain thoughts. Soon I realised that it wasn't only people but things as well. At this point I wasn't really aware of what was going on but thought I might be part of some huge government experiment that nobody was supposed to talk about. I assumed it was some government programme because of how organised it was. I thought the tv was talking about me and my life. I noticed a build-up of really weird coincidences happening in a short space of time that, when considered in sum, didn't seem like coincidences. I would think a certain type of thought and the roof would make a sound. or I'd think about something to do with a wolf and all the dogs in the neighbourhood would start barking. It was constant, one coincidence after the next. I started trying to speak to people telepathically to see if they'd respond and a lot of the time I'd get a seemingly accurate response. It even felt like the weather was in tune with my thoughts and what I was doing. It was really frustrating feeling like people where reading my mind because the same thoughts that you try to resist are the same thoughts that try to persist. A very stressful time it was. At this point you believe anything is possible because you have basically witnessed miracles. I even thought I was the Black Panther because they said my name in the movie lol. There were times where it felt like people actually respected me and there were times where I thought people wanted to harm me. Every time I tried to ignore everything it only got worse and either people around me would start fighting or an accident would happen and again it felt well-timed and organised. In my opinion there's a bigger problem with the world than my brain. During my episode, I think it's important to note that I was very sober. I had taken a break from smoking because I smoked more than usual in December. To conclude I have a few questions I hope you've already asked yourself if you are reading this. Was my reality real or fake? How is it possible that my brain can hallucinate an alternate reality without anybody noticing until I finally act out? Why wasn't I hit by a car or a bus when crossing the road if my reality wasn't real? Was it really the weed? The medical definition of schizophrenia doesn't explain all the things that happened to me and are still happening. I think a lot more research needs to be done or a new perspective on this needs to be implemented. I am 110% certain there is nothing wrong with me. I wish all schizophrenics could just come together and talk about this.

      Mentally Still I've experienced a lot of what you're describing here. Only, it was in 1976. Mental illness runs in my family and I smoked a lot of dope(that's what we called weed back then). Extremely frightening. I'm on meds and they help me get through life. I would suggest emphatically to stay away from pot. That will only make things worse. There are all sorts of bizarre things a person like me could experience. I've spent a long time trying to understand what is real and what isn't.

Also a delusion that others can control my moods and that when I'm feeling good it's "them" lulling me into a false sense of security in order to attack me at some later date , whilst at the same time telling me that they "look after me " .

    I’ve been struggling with thought broadcasting since November 2020. I just moved into a new neighborhood and since then I’ve felt like they can read my mind. There were points where I felt like they were harassing me because somehow I heard them laughing when I’m thinking or arguing with myself in the bathroom. There are also many times where they sound angry and like they’re screaming at me when I’m actually sort of arguing with them in my mind. I also kinda have tics so I would hear them laugh at me every time they trigger me. It all just got worse from there and now I’m convinced that every single person I encounter really can even if when I asked them they all said that they couldn’t. It’s got to the point where I can actually hear and see people screaming at me and telling me to “shut up” and stop thinking. It’s just been really hard, demotivating, and draining to do anything because at the end I think they know everything about me and I never get rewarded a sense of privacy that I feel like everyone has. I guess I have become a better person in my mind and have grown exponentially through this experience but I just wish it could be over soon. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I really don’t feel so alone anymore. And to everyone in the comments, I’m glad we’re in this together.

      Yes, even though we may take antipsychotics or other meds, they don't stop the delusional thoughts we have or continue to have of the people or world around us. That's why it's so important to start trying to be mentally strong in your thoughts and stop certain thoughts in their tracks before they cause you to be paranoid or anxious. Love & God Bless you! I was diagnosed with schizophrenia since 2010, and I know I have been living with it for much longer than that. Hang on to the things you know are real in this life!

There will be times where you absolutely lose it because coincendentally something like a name or item you were thinking was placed for you to see by someone and it feels like it was done on purpose. Now I have been to a physciatric hospital in which never cured me. I do feel as if what we are dealing with is something different and not an disorder if we are all experiencing this samething. I've seen my family all turn there heads to me while smiling at the same time which was creepy and leads me to think we are being controlled and not just us, but everyone.

    Hi Lauren, thanks for bringing up this topic. I have been going through these symptoms for a while now. Unfortunately I can't control all my thoughts and sometimes negative thoughts happen out of nowhere which creates this tremendous guilty feeling. I use to imagine a brick wall in my mind to cover these thoughts when good people were around me. I always reality check which can bring me relief. In truth I continue to struggle and I have lost a lot of my confidence which prevents from working at a job. Mostly, I try to ignore most of these thoughts and just tell myself to get on with it. It's hard though because it's a struggle rather than living a healthy life both physically and mentally. I have had schizophrenia since I was 23 years old. I am 56 years old now. I did achieve some positive goals but the symptoms never quite go away. It can be so frightening at time. I usually just say to myself, "I have been through this before and it will go away." I just want to say to you your videos have been extremely helpful. You can hit right on with some things where most doctors and therapists can't. I want to thank you for your insight., Keep moving forward with these videos and your further achievements.

    Thought broadcasting was a loooong process that started years before I became schizoaffective. I was neurotic and paranoid for a good ten years before I became psychotic. By the time I became an unwilling victim of my brain's imagination I had already a massive paranoid narrative at work. I could not negotiate in public anymore because I couldn't tell real voiced from my universe. I had to completely shut everything down. I became very lonely but autonomous.
    Over the years of ignoring everyone, I am basically able to navigate at about the level of autonomy that I had in actual in my early 20s but without the creeping paranoia that I was building at that time. I am 60. This is a long journey.

      @@headscrewoff5674 It’s important to like what you are doing for sure. If you are going to take meds, try to also take vitamins as here are some facts: people who take the vitamins and work on taking sugar from their diets are less likely to suicide. Here is the basic prescription for vitamins. Dr. Hoffer made it very easy to memorize. You should look him up on line. He is dead now but he changed a lot of the approach to schizophrenia (and weight lifters diets lol) for anyone who wanted to pay attention. Many didn’t but he was completely credible and a trusted friend and colleague of Dr. Linus Pauling. Anyway:
      Vit C 1000mg 3x a day
      B6 500 mg 3x a day
      B3. 500 mg 3x a day
      Folic acid 1 time a day or self prescribed
      Cal-Mag 1 time a day or self prescribed
      You can add any vitamins that you want Into that mix, but that is the basic prescription.
      I have to say that after only two weeks in that I quit visual hallucinating completely. The audial didn’t go away but did die down a LOT.
      If you want to also take prescription meds be sure to take the vitamins. You may think that you don’t need the vitamins but in fact the prescription is a temporary thing that alters some brain chemistry but doesn’t heal the biochemistry. It’s like the cast but not setting the leg.
      Just things for you to research on your own, but the vitamins and sugar free diet is far less quackery than a lot of the use of long term meds. Use of long term meds leads to earlier deaths and toxic overdose. Again it’s just research. It used to be a bit easier to find the statistics online. I think that you may reach a paywall nowadays. Not sure. Nothing is perfect here.

    Hello Lauren,
    I just saw another ad at the start of this video. I have never suffered from this and I also heard a tiny bit about people feeling that others are stealing their thoughts and you talked about people calling radio and TV stations complaining that they are broadcasting their thoughts, I guess, having stolen them.
    From my point of view me 67 we are all connected in every way at every level to a greater or lesser extent and that is reality.
    However if I'm chatting to someone I can easily work out, when I opt to do that, what they are thinking but of course that is based on what they are saying and facial expressions tone of voice and body language.
    All the best and many thanks,

It’s a very hard thing to have as you feel all your privacy is takin by this illness. And like you my thoughts are positive a lot but fear of others hearing my thoughts often results in silly negative thoughts too. Which I try to igrore but it’s hard on a bad day.

    My first time moving out of the house I lived in an apartment with two other guys. There were drugs and parties and I was working in a factory. Pretty soon it devolved into me thinking I could read everyone's thoughts. It was always very negative. I also wasn't being treated very well by my roommates. This led to me thinking the only way I could be liked was to have drugs. I avoided people and a couple girls came over and asked me to go to their apartment. Because I had about zero self esteem I just stayed in the apartment and was thought of as a sad person. I think people could see I was going a little crazy.

    It's nice to hear you are trying to experiment with potential psychic events when you have your broadcasting phases.
    Broadcasting was the most horrifying and challenging part of my schizophrenic crisis, and I am SO glad that, while a few Other schizoid symptoms peek into my life since remission, the _Certainty_ that my thoughts are indiscriminately exposed to the world hasn't recurred at all.
    I'll gladly listen all day to the Voices tell me why my every gesture proves that I am the worst person to ever person over a single moment of losing the sanctuary of my Private Thoughts.

    Technically, this has happened to me may far back as fifth grade for me where I would just literally either avoid engaging with others and escape through watching movies bc I was afraid they already were inserting thoughts in my head. (Also, I had two imaginary friends around that time, Chinese siblings by the names of Cam and Sam. Weird, right?) Other times I just keep the negative thoughts of others to myself as if inside a chest under lock and key so to not start a huge, unnecessary confrontation. For years, I constantly wrote (mostly) positive affirmations, even during my first stay at a mental hospital, so no one would catch up with my thoughts and steal them outright. Lately, I just write and post those affirmations in public incognito throughout the day to avoid awkward interactions. I'm just glad there's a word for it. I needed this.

I was even working at the time, but I found the distraction useful. It must have been a good couple of years of this, but I am over delusions now. I literally pay no attention the the messy thoughts in my head, as I know if I am left alone for too long, or I have not distractions like work, I can very quickly fall down the rabbit hole.

      Clarity Burns If it helps to say mantras in public I think that's great. When I was seeing a psychologist for talk therapy, she told me one symptom of some mental illness is called Counting. Just counting or whatever you choose to do helps keep a person calm. I used to do this years ago for a short time but I believe there are much better ways to deal with what you're experiencing. Psychologists offer support and other things. They can give you what are called coping skills to try. Some people get great deal of good out of seeing someone to talk to once a week or once a month.

I would be in a public place like the grocery store and it felt like my thoughts were wide open to the outside world. Diagnosed Schizoaffective d/o. It's truly a fearsome beast if you don't have the meds to tame it.

    This is so interesting to me because I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 10 years ago and never heard about thought broadcasting before, but used to wonder sometimes if people could read my thoughts or hear what I was thinking. It does not happen so much anymore, but still on occasion.
    My brother who was diagnosed with schizophrenia years ago is very withdrawn and talks to himself a lot in a muffled voice, but it seems difficult for him to carry on conversations with others and I wonder if he has issues with thought broadcasting as well. I would not feel comfortable asking him about this as I fear it could further play into the delusion, but I am curious.

    Hi I've been watching your videos for about a year and I also have schizoaffective disorder. I was diagnosed with the disorder when I was 20 and I am now 29. My primary symptom is thought broadcasting. I always hear voices that sound like anyone who is around me. So basically if I can hear their voice I hear a voice that copy's the sound of their voice and says negative things to me. Also when I hear voices they sound like they're coming from outside of my head but not like if someone were to being having a conversation with me in person. More like a telepathic prompt as you describe it. It has lead me to believe sometimes that I am having a telepathic experience however, I know that is a delusion. It's hard for me to think positive sometimes and I have confirmed with my therapist that I have intrusive thoughts, so when I have intrusive thoughts the voices in my head tend to comment on my thoughts in those moments. I suffer from this everyday. I don't really like using the word 'suffer' to describe the feeling because I'm worried people would think I'm crying out for attention but it is harder for me to function normally throughout my day. I have wasted so much time in my head talking to voices. For my future, I hope to spend more time focused on the reality of a conversation than a delusion that my family and friends are talking bad about me in their head. That's usually what I tend to think about is what I'm hearing as auditory hallucinations. Again I don't want to waste time in delusional thinking but rather focus on the present and enjoy the conversations I can have with people in reality.

    I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder.

Sometimes Im not even thinking of anything and Ill have people walk past me and they'll make comments or call me names or just look at me. Its full on! Once I was sitting by a lift and a woman walked past me and made a comment towards me that had personal details about me! Just a random stranger walking past me like how we walk past each other on a footpath made 1 comment that had personel info about me.
    Thought Broadcasting Is Real! Well for me it is, because I have had so much confirmation now that has to be real!
    I believe its the power of God who is using my mind to be an open book to everyone because he wants his Holy Scriptures to be heard and also exposing the enemy! God has opened my eyes to the hidden things and forces of this world and I have done alot of research on what most people ignorantly dissmiss or who are yet to wake up call conspiracy theories, but if you look into it there is evidence in books and all online that exposes satan and the rest of the fallen angels and the elite that are in many secret satanic socities and the occult who worship him and that help run satans kingdom!

    Lauren this is a great and difficult topic to delve into. I remember meeting a young man at a cafe after i performed some hip hop freestyle with a friend and I was going through nervous feelings ( I have schizophrenia) about what it meant now that people in my town would know 1. i wanted to be a rapper and 2. what I had shared in the freestyle rapping. He told me and my friend (my friend is a very healthy Christian but doesn't know much about schizophrenia, but is very helpful) that no one knows what a stranger is thinking about, that its the one time you can be sure no one knows and how much a robbery it is that we think they must know.
    His comments, which I'm paraphrasing, were a tremendous help. I see things more logically now, which like you isn't to say I never think people know my thoughts, but I logically say the "they can't know" without validating what they can't know, which like you I know it is a rabbit hole to rationalize as if it will fully end the problem. It is better to calm your nervousness than to try to get someone to make sense of how much they don't know, but a little encouragement from someone who means the world to us is probably also the best, as it helps the nervousness and also gives us positive words to think about. Thanks again for the great video.

      real telepathic experiences like satorare, being mindread, truman show feelings, repeating thoughts etc.
      Abilify, Geodon, Haldol, Risperdal, Seroquel, or Zyprexa in injections form with less side effects can block this kinda telepathy....

    Yout channel makes me feel like i'm not alone... I have this fear... That people are listenning to my thoughts too, specially when i'm having bad ones... So It always comes with the fear of judgement. I always tell my self the same thing you do... "If I cant hear their thoughts, they also can't hear mine". I grew up in a very catholic family... So this paranóia was born with the fear of god, jesus and the devil listenning to my every thought. Love from Brazil

    i have not been diagnosed with schizophrenia however i do really experience this a LOT especially during school times. in my head i can feel myself telling me they cant read my mind yet it still spirals out of control and at times i end up believing i can hear other people's thoughts leading me to spend most of my day trying to figure out whats in somebody's mind and again when people tell me it isnt true or that they cant read my mind it doesnt really help as once ive got to that place in my mind there's really no going back

    I love your videos. You are a great example of mental illness. We don't all walk round like zombies, or charge round in a murderous rage, we are just trying to get by, live life, keep happy and healthy. I first got psychosis in 2018. How scary. I could hear a voice commanding me to do things. I recognised this voice. I also felt touch hallucinations which were awful. Shadow people also. My view of the whole world has changed, all reality, my treatment in the psyche ward was horrendous, some of these people should never be round vulnerable folks, anyway I said I'd never go back there ever again, I came off the antipsychotics they'd forced into my body in hospital, I couldn't stand the side effects, could hardly get out of bed and read they took 20 years off your life, I couldn't handle that. The point to this rambling is I've been there, it's awful, you're great. Keep doing these video, raise awareness, educate and thank you so much x

      I had psychosis in 2015. I have a video about it on my channel. I ended up getting off antipsychotics, I've been off them for 5 years now. I've been doing great. No more psychosis.

    I will want to talk shit so bad about people but I’ll get scared because I think they can hear me. It has made me a better person too I cannot lie.
